I'm not sure WHY it took me so long to try this place, but it's now one of my favorite restaurants to grab a bite to eat in Belmont. Peace N Hominy serves up both terrific BBQ and the friendliest service -- what's not to love?
Located in East Belmont, the restaurant has a cozy, homey feel. Upon arrival, staff warmly greet you and ask if you have any questions about the menu. Like most BBQ joints, you order food at the cash register and then find a table.
The menu here is quite comprehensive and they serve a variety of smoked meats such as brisket, pulled pork, bacon, chicken, and turkey. My favorite meats are the pulled pork and brisket -- both are super tender and full of smoky flavor. They also have a nice selection of side dishes, featuring a solid coleslaw, slightly sweet hush puppies, and creamy grits. I wasn't a huge fan of the macaroni and cheese (basically pasta + shredded cheese), but you can't go wrong with any of their other side dishes. They have a nice selection of BBQ sauces, ranging from vinegar-based (my favorite) to traditional to spicy. I haven't been crazy about the desserts I've tried here, but that's okay, because I rarely have room for dessert after eating a delicious plate of BBQ!
The service here is top-notch! The staff are genuinely kind and friendly and truly exemplify Southern hospitality! Thank you so much for adding such a great restaurant to the Belmont food scene!
